At least five other people were killed and dozens more injured in the strikes, which also hit a residential building in the city near the Russian border.
Pictures showed flames and thick black smoke coming from the upper part of the building as firefighters carried people to safety.
President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed his calls for all Ukraine’s international partners to allow it to hit targets inside Russia in order to prevent such attacks.
